Reports in Italy claim that Atalanta have stepped forwards with a proposal for Bosnia and Herzegovina talent Kerim Alajbegovic, who has also been linked with a move to Milan and Roma, and the latest updates claim that the teenager has given his approval to Bergamo as a potential destination.
Atalanta preparing €20m bid for Alajbegovic after receiving player approval
Alajbegovic has attracted the interest from a number of top-flight clubs in Italy including Roma, Milan and according to the latest reports from Alfredo Pedullà, Atalanta as well.
The exciting 18-year-old winger scored nine goals from 28 appearances for RB Salzburg in 2025-26, which was enough for Bayer Leverkusen to immediately activate their buy-back clause for the teenage talent.
Alajbegovic was born in Germany, spent eight years with the academy of 1. FC Köln before joining the youth ranks in Leverkusen in 2021.
Bayer Leverkusen are expected to listen to offers for Alajbegovic this summer, and according to Pedullà’s report, Atalanta are expected to step forwards with an offer of €20m plus bonuses.
Already, this is not expected to be enough to convince Leverkusen into selling, but Pedullà insists that La Dea have made their intentions clear. Monday’s report adds that Atalanta have already received a ‘yes’ from Alajbegovic and his representatives.
